Abstract :
In this study, we suggest and demonstrate plasmonic Airy beam manipulations in a wedged metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure, where one of the metallic plates is tilted to produce an effective linear optical potential. We show both analytically and numerically that with different tilting angles, the plasmonic Airy beam deflection could be enhanced, compensated or even reversed, meanwhile still maintaining the self-healing properties.
